There are several place to define the maximum file size that can be uploaded :
In Mantis configuration file: config_defaults_inc.php or config_inc.php
$g_allow_file_upload = ON;
$g_max_file_size = 2000000; # 2 MB
$g_file_upload_method = DATABASE;
In the PHP configuration file : /etc/php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 2M
In the php Apache module : /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf The variable is LimitRequestBody (default to 512kB)
<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 2097152
</Files>
If the update method is DATABASE, MySQL can also limit the file size
In /etc/my.cnf the variable max_allowed_packet must be defined.
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
set-variable = max_allowed_packet=5000000 |

After installing Mantis(version 0.18.1) I had problems getting file upload to work because of the open_basedir restrictions on my server wouldn't let php access the uploaded files from the temporary directory.
I found out that php can use the function move_uploaded_file() instead of copy(). After changing the $g_file_upload_method to DISK and making a 1 line change in core/file_api.php and proj_doc_add.php files.
core/file_api.php
Line 366
From: copy( $p_tmp_file, $t_file_path . $t_new_file_name );
To: move_uploaded_file( $p_tmp_file, $t_file_path . $t_new_file_name );
proj_doc_add.php
Line 74
From: copy( $v_tmp_name, $t_file_path . $t_file_name );
To: move_uploaded_file( $v_tmp_name, $t_file_path . $t_file_name );

Hi!
I use DATABASE to save files but I don't really how files are stored. My problem is that I periodically backup up the db using MySqlAdmin and the .sql generated string do not include (of course) the file...how is supposed I have to proceed to backup EVERYTHING (attachments included) on the db?
Thanks for help.
Ps: pls remove the "plsremovethis" to reply me |

Hi Ciappi
Backup MySQL can be done by locking the database, copying the database files and then unlocking. Full details can be found in the MySQL documentation.

I have same trbls with download of stored files (tried DISK and DATABASE). I guess IE6 cannot treat with mime types mantis provide. text files work, all other types do not work (size is ok, manually checked).

I have found a total of four settings that effect file uploads. Make sure they are all set to the value you need.
Mantis - $g_max_file_size
PHP - upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
MySql - max_allowed_packet, when using DATABASE upload method
Also beware of proxy servers between you and Mantis when uploading files. There is a 'bug' in some version of Microsoft ISA server that effects the POST method. The end result with Mantis being that ISA will timeout before the upload completes. |

I enabled $g_preview_attachments_inline_max_size so that I can display every attached images in the bug view. Although this decrease the load speed a little but it it very convenient for showing cosmetic bugs.
I want to add auto-resize (width and height) code for large image in the bug view, but by looking through the source code I couldn't find a way to access the image file.
How I wanted to do is use getimagesize() function to get image's width and height value, calculate the matrix for resized large images, and insert the 'width="" height=""' code to line 201 in file_api.php:
PRINT "<br /><img src=\"file_download.php?file_id=$v_id&type=bug\" />";
Has anybody tried this before? |

I`ve successfully installed mantis and edited the config_inc.php for storing upload files to DISK via FTP on a local server (adminstrated with cesarftp). (mantis is on our webhosting)
set user and password in config_inc.php...and realized while reporting an issue a successful login on the server by the php-script while submitting the issue. Nevertheless there is no "physical" data arrived on the server. Assuming that it is only cached in the database on the sql-server. Another hint for this problem is that the "uploadfilepath"-input-form per project accepts only the value "./". I want to set the path to "/QA" (tried it already in other variations ../ ./, etc. )on our local file server, and i want to have a "hardcopy" of the uploaded file in that targeted directory?! How can i solve this problem? |

an SQL dump actually DOES contain all the binary data. So one does not need to copy database files and do other tricks to backup the attachments. mysql dump is enough 
INSERT INTO mantis_bug_file_table VALUES (8,250,'','','0000250-BelegAktualisierenNachKunde.gif','0000250-BelegAktualisierenNachKunde.gif','',31173,'image/gif','2004-09-07 09:36:23','GIF87a\0èw\0\0,\0\0\0\0\0è‡\0\0\0€\0\0\0€\0€€\0\0\0€€\0€\0€€ÀÀÀÀÜÀ¦Êð\0\033\0\03\03\033 \"\"\" ))UUUMMMBBB999ÿ|€ÿPPÖ\0“ÌìÿïÖÆççÖ©?3ÿ\0f\0\0™\0\0Ì\0\0\03\033\0f3\0™3\0Ì3\0ÿ3\0\0f\03f\0ff\0™f\0Ìf\0ÿf\0\0™\03™\0f™\0™™\0Ì™\0ÿ™\0\0Ì\03Ì\0fÌ\0™Ì\0ÌÌ\0ÿÌ\0fÿ\0™ÿ\0Ìÿ\0\0ÿ33\0ÿf\03™\03Ì\03ÿ\03\03ÿ333f33™33Ì33ÿ33\0f33f3ff3™f3Ìf3ÿf3\0™33™3f™3™™3Ì™3ÿ™3\0Ì33Ì3fÌ3™Ì3ÌÌ3ÿÌ33ÿ3fÿ3™ÿ3Ìÿ3ÿÿ3\0\0 |

I am having an issue with the upload feature. I have the global set to DISK. When I click the Upload file button, I get Application Error #200 - A required parameter to this page was not found. This looks like it getting ERROR_GPC_VAR_NOT_FOUND most likely in the function gpc_get_file. Has anyone run into this before? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks |

I've reported the misleading error messages and inconsistent user interface for uploading files as a bug at
http://bugs.mantisbt.org/view.php?id=5346
This might help if you just can't get file uploading to work . |

Watch out if you are using PHP 5.0.4:
Don't be confused, if your files have a miximum size of 2 MB after the download. The file has been uploaded completely and successfully. It is a bug in the readfile function of PHP 5.0.4. |

There is an error in the core/database_api.php when you use postgres sql.
line 300 is: return pg_escape_string( $p_string );
but it must be: return pg_escape_bytea( $p_string );
otherwise all files will be corrupt after upload.

Hello there,
I have two problems with the file upload in mantis 0.19.2:
1)
after changing the file-upload method from FTP to DISK, new files are not saved on the webserver with real names any more. Instead the files are saved with random characters and numbers and without a file-extension! What could be the reason for that?
2)
Is it possible to change the file-upload-path in the mantis project section together with changing the paths for all existing bugs having this path? In this moment the new path just works with new bugs, but not with the existing ones!
Thanks in advance

Automatically included users cannot view documents in private projects. To fix this problem, use below solution.
open file: proj_doc_page.php
add:
$t_private_project_threshold = config_get( 'private_project_threshold' );
change:
$query = ...
...
( pult.user_id = $t_user_id AND pult.access_level $t_access_clause ) )
ORDER BY pt.name ASC, pft.title ASC";
to
( (pult.user_id = $t_user_id AND pult.access_level $t_access_clause) OR
(ut.access_level >= $t_private_project_threshold AND ut.access_level $t_access_clause)) )
ORDER BY pt.name ASC, pft.title ASC"; |

[Editor] The following post was reported on the forums by Arcnet.nl.
Took me some time to find out why my uploads didn't work.
I use method 'DISK'.
Wanted to upload a new file to my 'Documents' section (All projects). But always got a failure.
So i found the variable '$g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder' ... and now it works. But this variable is not documented (in the Upload File section). Why not ? |

Also be sure to set memory_limit to a sufficient value in your php.ini.
I recently ran into trouble trying to upload a 1MB file although all beforementioned params were set appropriately.
After replacing the standard value of 8M by 16M everything worked fine.
Cheers, Thomas |

Hi,
I changed all the parameters to 60M, so I can Upload big project-files. But in mantis the maximum filesize is 16.000k. Why?
I changed the php.ini, the confic_inc.php and the my.cfg. None of these contains the string 16M, or equal. Is there another file to change? Or is 16M the maximum? |

Hi,
I uploaded a bunch of files to mantis yesterday but today. All JPG's under the limit. Today when I go back in, I find the files missing. Could it be because it is being uploaded to a temp directory? How do you go about changing the place where files are uploaded? |

| I am using Mantis 0.19.0, and my IE hangs when I upload a file which is over 1MB. I check config_inc.php and php.ini, and both are under default setting (2MB). Do I miss something? |

Hello all,
I described the problem last december. I installed the new mantis version and still have the same problem. The maximum upload filesize ist 16000K. I edited the my.cnf, php5.ini and the config_inc.php. I can't even find a file with 16M or equal as value.
Is 16M the maximun filesize in mantis?
I use mySQL 5, php5 and apache2.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks |

I had a similar problem where i couldnt upload more than a 9mb or 14 mb file (seemed to vary a bit by platform/browser) regardless of all my php.ini, my.cnf, config_inc.php file settings.
None of the usual savvy folks who can usually fix anything could figure out why it wouldnt work. but what ended up fixing it was changing the file upload schema to DISK, that worked right away (so i figure it probably had something to do with all the multiple cachnig that goes one with php/sql temp files and such).
Anyway, switching to DISK didnt get us out of the woods so fast because it looks like there is a bug in Mantis as follows:
- It is not enough to merely set your config_inc.php setting (example):
$g_absolute_path_default_upload_folder = '/home/httpd/mantis/mantis-files/';
In order to use the admin/move_db2disk.php feature you MUST also set, in Manage Projects section for each and every project, set the upload path as well in order for the script to work, otherwise you get the "not writable" errors. |
